In addition to the horribly lazy writing, plot holes and the cringeworthy acting, one of the most annoying aspects of this movie is that the screenwriters don't seem to know (or care) that Africa is a huge continent with many different countries and cultures. From the beginning, everyone refers to the country the main character is traveling to as "Africa" and talk about the cliche stereotypes around "Africans" without specificity.
This movie is simply an exploitation of people's fantasy of "the exotic Africa" with very little nuance or traces of decent acting. The sad thing is it will work for many people since it simply confirms stereotypes in a very conveniently ignorant manner.
